The Historic District

I had surprise visitors Sunday afternoon. Relatives of Truman Thomas, who built the house. They were cousins, not descendants, Truman was a bachelor. This was a family of dad, mom and 3 children. Dad's first and middle names were Truman Thomas. The current Truman Thomas said he remembered visiting a...

Friday, I received an email from the college professor conducting the archaeological dig. She applied to the National Park Service for a grant for more extensive work. She will receive the grant. She also indicated that the Park Service wants this site and 5 others related to native Americans in sou...

LB, glad you got the pictures to work. I believe that's the first lane side pic you have posted home looks very nice. Your river makes ours look like a trickle in the mud, is it tidal? The iron pipe, any chance it is part of the original pluming? gothic homes original pluming just had black iron pi...

I have what I think are some unusual light fixtures. First one looks somewhat like marble, except of course it is glass in white with veins of yellow to orange. http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i135/Lower_Brambly/LowerBramblyPicture001.jpg Same fixture with the light on. the yellow doesn't really s...

First picture is one of the holes in the yard dug by the archaeology students. The second picture is looking into the hole at the cast iron pipe they discovered.

I did use Photobucket at OHW, but think I posted directly from my computer at WG, which was much easier, I didn't have a size problem most of the time, although I didn't post lots of pictures. I thought I had Paint on this computer, but can't seem to find it. I may have to go back to Photobucket. I'...

you are going to post some pictures, right? and P.S. Not really, but I have been dying to use that smiley I know, and I did try last night and I did check "help" for resizing. The first step was to make a copy of the original picture and I couldn't do that. It kept asking if I wanted to r...

I registered soon after the site opened and have been reading lots of posts, but posting very little due in part to health issues. I thought I made an introduction post but apparently I didn't. I have tried to attach pictures, but the files are too large. I need to learn to resize and I am not the m...
